Flabellina islandica is a species of sea slug, an aolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Flabellinidae.

History of the taxonomy

Flabellina islandica was originally described as Coryphella islandica by Nils Hjalmar Odhner in 1937.

M. C. Miller (1971)[1] assigned this species to a new genus Paracoryphella within a new family Paracoryphellidae.

Gosliner & Kuzirian (1990)[2] synonymized Paracoryphella with Flabellina.
